Satisfied at last that no woman's in

TO STAIN A KITCHEN FLOOR.
To give a kitchen g neat appearance
and to keep it clean, it is q good plan to |
stain it. a farmers wife describes how
it may be done: "Put about an ounce Of |
burnt lumber in quart of IiDseed oil; the !
amount needed will deDend upon the size |
of your floor. a quart will go over CON /
siderable surface. Mix the lumber care
fully into the oil, trying it occa-
slOnally to get the desired shade. Apply
it with wooden cloth, rubbing it hard to
get the color well into the pores of the
wood. Then 60 over it with q soft, dry
cloth, and after few weeks rub it again
with merely the boiled Oil. Once in six
months or more, according as needed,
use the lumber mixture again. With care
n wlping up floor thus prepared, that
$, using tepid water instead of strong
'oap suds, it viii last along time. If the
ioor is walnut, the boiled oil and lumber
will be sufficient"
BAKED BEANS.

o company on board an Atlantic
teamer. He said: "Well, of coarse the
'eans are washed ever SO many times,
nd parboIled all Saturday. Then, when
